FAQ
General
What’s the difference between the Ronin, Ronin-M and Ronin-MX?
The Ronin-MX has been designed for use both in the sky and on the ground and communicates
directly with the DJI A3 ight controller. The Ronin-MX can be mounted on the Matrice 600 in just
minutes, so that you can easily go from shooting handheld to capturing footage from above.
The Ronin and Ronin-M are designed specically for use on the ground and we do not recommend
using them in the air.
The Ronin-MX includes all the functionality of the Ronin and Ronin-M, i.e. Three Operation Modes,
built-in receiver and remote control, and is also compatible with DJI Assistant 2 and DJI GO, for
controlling gimbal settings.
What is the M600? Can I y the Ronin-MX on other platforms?
The Matrice 600 (M600) is an integrated aerial system built with the A3 Flight Controller and
Lightbridge 2. It is designed to y the Ronin-MX gimbal and it is also compatible with all of DJI’s
Zenmuse gimbals and cameras.
We do not recommend mounting the Ronin-MX to other platforms as the Ronin-MX is not able
to communicate with ight controllers other than the A3, meaning that maximum stabilization
performance is achieved with the M600.
What is the difference between the Ronin-MX cage design and the
design of the Ronin-M? Is the non-cage design is not as stable?
No, the non-cage design of the Ronin and the Ronin-M works perfectly when used on the ground.
When the gimbal is mounted to a ying platform, its movements are more complex and require more
advanced balancing capability. The cage designed for the Ronin-MX locks the camera at the top
and at the bottom, improving its stabilization performance for aerial use.
Is the Ronin-MX’s stabilization more accurate and higher-performing
than the Ronin and Ronin-M?
Yes. The Ronin-MX is able to handle high G-force environments and changes in acceleration and
deceleration speeds (i.e. car racing) to create stable footage with preserved horizon. When ying,
the Ronin-MX communicates directly with the DJI A3 Flight Controller and reacts immediately to the
pilot’s inputs, so that it is always in sync with the platform’s movements. Furthermore, the motors of
the Ronin-MX are stronger than on the Ronin and Ronin-M, making it more powerful and at the same
time, reduces noise when lming.
